I like it :) It's easy to understand and it's not overly long. I like the feeling created by it. That makes it a good poem.

This is the first poem I have ever commented on but it just sums up being a mother to a son and their relationship so well that I was moved into creating an account. It should be sad, driving to a mothers grave under pouring rain but it made me smile and that's imo the whole strength of this poem. A really lovely poem. I live in france and the title 'Z'ma Mor' reminds me so much of 'm'amour' an endearment meaning my love...

Like the comments given here, the elements of the poem are symbolic, but the format (presentation) can be arranged into phrases instead of 'chopping' them up as the thought gets cut. Emotional and nostalgic, as memories of mothers always are.

Hello Ata! Thank you for the message and for the confidence to ask me to write a comment upon your poem 'My Mother'. First of all, She is not your mother. She is the Mother of all men. She represents the goddess of fertility, beauty and eternity. Even Death cannot wipe her out of our hearts. She is respected by all celestial religions. For example, in Islam we have a sacred Hadeeth (=a saying of the prophet) that says: ' Heaven is under the feet of the Mother'. Again thank you for the theme itself. Three elements draw my attention in this poem: The Mother, The Rain, and The Umbrella. They are smartly interwoven. They have common symbolic connotations with a sameness in gender. The Umbrella symbolizes Shelter, Protection and Containment, and so does The Mother. The Rain symbolizes Life, Fertility and Purity, and so does The Mother, too. The following verses are the most excellent in your poem 'The white' 'wet' 'marble of your grave' 'sparkled like your smile' in the personification and in the promotion of the 'marble' to reach identification with 'Smile'. The 'Smile' in itself is highly promoted to 'Light' in your poem. This is what really transcends your poem to be more poetic. How? Look here. Suppose you wrote your verses like this: 'The white' 'wet' 'marble of your grave' 'is like your smile' This is poetic but less poetic than what you have originally written. I congratulate you for that. However, I suggest to write them in two lines because the separation of the words has no effect but on the paper or on the length of the poem and no aesthetical or poetical impact. I suggest to write them in just two lines with a slight shift in putting the two adjectives: 'white' and 'wet': 'The wet white marble of your grave' 'sparkled like your smile' because the adjective 'white' modifies, grammatically, the 'marble' not 'wet' that modifies the 'marble'. The remaining lines of the poem are not bad but they need to be more embellished. Finally, God bless your mother and be with you. RIDHA ABDELLAOUI TUNISIA.

This is a very, very, very, moving poem-that held me in its rein in the rains.Of the striking images and fresh, fresh, fresh perception of the narrator drivingng in the rain and being embraced by every drop. And seeing her sparkling smile in the wet marble stone.e way you captured your mother in the rain get a 10++++++ from me. Thanks for inviting me to read it. May I ask you to read 'Mom accordingly, you're loved'. I also wrote tributes to my four children ' A Mother's Collection Of: Tissues, Bones, And Blood'
